"Justice"

"Justice"



The daltons ride and the desert sky gets swallowed up by the night
Up ahead a stranger hides with a thombstone in his eye
The stranger knows this is his very last ride
A crescent moon in the sky you can’t run and hide

They ride for freedom around the world and across the land
For the woman and the baby child and for the ones who can’t
The stranger knows hell is coming, coming up from behind

They call it justice, heaven knows justice is blind
We need some justice to make the wrong into right
Justice don’t play favourites and justice don’t pick sides
We need some justice, heaven knows justice is blind

This man is pure in his heart and in his mind
Thinks of a woman who is wheeping in the night
Vengeance makes him righteous when the smoke is clear
It’s only pure if it’s justice, nothing else comes near

They call it justice, heaven knows justice is blind
We need some justice to make the wrong into right
Justice don’t play favourites and justice don’t pick sides
We need some justice, heaven knows justice is blind

"Kickstart To Freedom"

"Kickstart To Freedom"


Old biker dream rollin' to the rally
In the wind with long legged Sally
Smell rice burnin' won't you step aside...Yea
True Americana is the only ride

[Chorus:]
I wanna live and ride free
Kickstart to Freedom don't tread on me
If I die...I die free...Kickstart to Freedom
Don't tread on me
Black leather and Chrome wheels
Loud and proud on hard cold steel
I wanna live and ride free...
Kickstart to Freedom don't tread on me
If I die...let me be...Kickstart to Freedom
Don't tread on me...

Raisin' hell all week down at Daytona
See in Sturgis in South Dakota...

[Chorus:]
I wanna live and ride free
Kickstart to Freedom don't tread on me
If I die...I die free...Kickstart to Freedom
Don't tread on me...
I wanna live and ride free
Kickstart to Freedom don't tread on me
If I die...let me be...Kickstart to Freedom
Don't tread on me

"Kinda Like Love"

"Kinda Like Love"


She walked in the bar room,
Not a day over 22,
Heads turned,
Eyes burned,
Temperatures were rising too.
And the looser and the stranger and the man behind the bar
All agreed she had potential
And that guidance was not far
Then the stranger by the station where the waitress pays her dues
Was left lookin' for a lover
Just someone else to use
It's not a long way from the dance floor to the dark of the parking lot
It's kinda like love but it's not.

[Chorus:]
Kinda like love
So young and tender
Kinda like the moves you used to make but you don't remember
Kinda like being 16 and hot
When you gave it everything you got
Kinda like love but it's not.

Now the stranger
He walked over just to say, "How do you do"
He said something about Texas
But she knew what he was getting too
They ordered more tequila while the man behind the bar
Was talking about the job last year in a town that was not far away
Then I walked out of the bar room
Couldn't even turn around
I guess I know what they were going to do
I knew what was going down
It's not a long way from the dance floor to the dark of the parking lot
It's kinda like love but it's not.

[Chorus:]
Kinda like love
So young and tender
Kinda like the moves you used to make but you don't remember
Kinda like being 16 and hot
When you gave it everything you got
Kinda like love but it's not.

Kinda like being 16 and hot
When you gave it everything you got
Kinda like love but it's not
Oohhh, no it's not, it's not.

"Lady Luck"

"Lady Luck"


You can break a mirror
Light three on a match
Walk under a ladder
Kick a black cat
Try your luck in Vegas
Shoot nothing but craps
But I'll gamble on my lady
When my luck's running bad.

[Chorus:]
'Cause she's my lady luck
She must have come
From heaven above
Now she's my lady luck
My good luck charm
A winner at love.

Spin the wheel of fortune
Look for your pot of gold
Try to make the clock turn back
And never get old
Rolling 7's and 11's
'Till the dice grow cold
But I'll always be a winner
With the luck that I hold.

[Chorus:]
'Cause she's my lady luck
She must have come
From heaven above
Now she's my lady luck
My good luck charm
A winner at love.

You can break a mirror

'Cause she's my lady luck

Now she's my lady luck

From heaven above
Now she's my lady luck
My good luck charm
A winner at love.

"Let The Good Times Roll"

"Let The Good Times Roll"


Well some people bitch, Lord, some people holler,
About the long days on the road.
Each man can do just what he wants,
But we've all got ot pull our load.
As for myself, I'm gonna take the highway,
It ain't as bad as they say.
Give me wine, women, whiskey, and rock 'n roll,
And let me sleep my days away.

[Chorus:]
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.

I've been all throughout the South land.
Keep moving on down the line.
I ought to settle down some place,
But I just can't find the time.
As for myself, gonna take this highway,
It ain't as bad as they say.
Give me wine, whiskey, women, and rock 'n roll,
And let me sleep my days away.

[Chorus x3:]
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.
C'mon baby, let the good times roll.

"Long Tall Sally"

"Long Tall Sally"


I saw Uncle John
With a long tall Sally
He saw Aunt Mary coming
And he jumped back in the alley

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having me some fun tonight

Long tall Sally
She's built for speed
She's got everything
That Uncle John needs

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having me some fun tonight

You know Uncle John
His age is 65
A daily dose of loving
Keeps that poor man alive.

[Chorus:]
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's alright
We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun
Have some fun tonight.

Well I saw Uncle John
With a long tall Sally
Saw Aunt Mary coming
And he ducked into the alley
Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Oh Baby
Having some time tonight.

Long tall Sally
She's built for speed
She's got everything
That Uncle John needs.

[Chorus:]
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's alright
We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun
Have some fun tonight.

"Long Time"

"Long Time"


All alone with a full moon to light my night.
Been six long months since I held you tight.
It's been a long time.
Baby, you are my only love,
Sent to me, from Heaven above.
Oh, honey, times are bad.
Got so bad, one lonely night,
I needed you to hold me tight.
Honey, don't be so sad.

I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my song.

We made a deal,
I remember the pact,
Now you're gone and I need you back.
Honey, don't be so mad.
There's no other,
there never could be,
You're my woman, my family.
Honey, baby, take me back.

I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, baby, listen to my song.

[Chorus:]
A feeling inside
I couldn't hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, won't you come back home?

Lonely days and damn the nights,
Has it been too long to make things right?
Been a long time,
Lord a long time.
I've got you on my mind,
You know I've done you wrong.
Oh, this pain in my soul.

[Chorus:]
The feeling inside,
I couldn't hide,
Now I wish I lied.
Oh, baby, won't you come back home?
Yeah, a long time.

"Loss Of Control"

"Loss Of Control"


Well, it happened up in Detroit
It was my kind of town
We heard the audience screaming
When they brought the houselights down
Blind anticipation was felt from afar
The kids were going crazy
When we cranked up our guitars.

[Chorus:]
It was a loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Filthy rock and roll.

Well, everywhere we go now
It happens night and day
All hell seems to break loose
When the boys stay to play
If you lack the courage
There's no room for you here
The boys have called it open season
On your eyes and ears.

[Chorus:]
Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Sleazy rock and roll.

We're right here in your city
We know it's our kind of town
We hear the audience screaming
So turn those houselights down
Blind anticipation we fel it from afar
There all going crazy
When we pick up our guitars
And we are.

[Chorus:]
Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Filthy rock and roll.

[Chorus:]
Loss of control
Fire in your soul
Loss of control
And the only thing
To blame it on is
Sleazy rock and roll.

"Man On The Run"

"Man On The Run"




I pack my bags
Strappin' on a friend
Make it lucky
On this road that never ends
Swear I didn't do it
The jury said I did
Busted out of prison
Ain't goin' back again.

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm a man
Man on the run
Livin' fast, runnin' hard
Always under the gun
Yes I'm a man on the run.

Travelin' a little light
I'm built for speed
Leavin' no traces
Of this mine fine lead
If you want to love me
You better not wait
Cause if you blink your eyes, girl
It'll be too late.

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm a man
Man on the run
Livin' fast, runnin' hard
Always under the gun
Yes I'm a man, man on the run
Livin' fast, runnin' hard
Always under the gun
Cause I'm a man on the run.

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm a man
Man on the run
Livin' fast, runnin' hard
Always under the gun
I'm a man, man on the run
Livin' fast, runnin' hard
Always under the gun
Cause I'm a man on the run.

[Chorus:]
Man on the run
Livin' fast, runnin' hard
Always under the gun
Livin' fast, runnin' hard
Always under the gun
Yes I'm a man, man on the run.

[Chorus:]
Yes I'm a man
Man on the run
I'm a man on the run
Yes I'm a man on the run
Yes I'm a man on the run.

"Melissa"
(originally by The Allman Brothers Band)

"Melissa"
(originally by The Allman Brothers Band)



Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa... mmm...

Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the Gypsy's name

No one hears his lonely sighs,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
with sweet Melissa... mmm...

Again the morning's come,
Again he's on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
or will his spirit float away?

But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.

Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.
